At the Hongmen Banquet, Zhang Liang owed Chen Ping a favor, why did Chen Ping not look for Zhang Liang's recommendation when he defected to Liu Bang, but instead went to Wei Ignorance?
In 207 BC, Liu Bang detoured into Wuguan and directly approached Xianyang, the "Third Emperor of Qin" was helpless, surrendered to Liu Bang, according to the agreement between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, whoever entered Xianyang first was the boss, but after Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Handan, he also pushed straight to Xianyang and "invited" Liu Bang to dinner at Hongmen.
At that time, Liu Bang only had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Xiang Yu, but had 400,000 soldiers, Liu Bang was not Xiang Yu's opponent at all, so there was the famous "Hongmen Banquet", although at the time of the Hongmen Banquet, with the help of Xiang Bo, Liu Bang luckily escaped, but after the Hongmen Banquet, Liu Bang was trapped in Xianyang and still precarious.
Helpless, Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang for advice, and Zhang Liang was also helpless, so he thought of Chen Ping under Xiang Yu's account, ran to find Chen Ping to "chat", did not expect that the two of them saw each other, and chatted very happily.
Chen Ping first used the "transfer of the tiger away from the mountain" and used a trick to let Fan Zeng leave Xianyang, and after Fan Zeng left, he also used the excuse that the princes gathered in Xianyang, the cost was too large, the supply of grain and grass was insufficient, and let the princes return to their respective fiefdoms, but Fan Zeng confessed before leaving, we must leave Liu Bang by his side, what to do?
Chen Ping also thought of a good way to call it "Sound East strikes west", first let Liu Bang pretend to take leave, saying that he wanted to return to PeiXian Province, Xiang Yu of course did not agree, so Chen Ping took the opportunity to say: "Since liu Bang cannot be allowed to meet Pei County, but you have already made him the king of Han, it is better to let him go to Hanzhong with the defeated soldiers!" ”。
Chen Ping said something, and finally persuaded Xiang Yu to really let Liu Bang leave, Liu Bang was out of danger, it can be said that without Chen Ping's help, Liu Bang could not have revived, therefore, whether Liu Bang or Zhang Liang, they all owe Chen Ping an adult affection.
However, what is surprising is that in 205 BC, Sima Jiao turned his back on Chu and surrendered to Han, and Xiang Yu was angry with Chen Pingping, chen Ping chose to defect to Liu Bang, neither directly to liu Bang, nor to let Zhang Liang recommend, but instead found a Wei ignorance who had no sense of existence in the Han army.
Why not ask liu Bang directly?
Why didn't Chen Ping directly ask Liu Bang to introduce himself? The reason is very simple, Chen Ping's first allegiance was to the King of Wei, Wei Gui, but he felt that the King of Wei was not good, and he turned to Xiang Yu, if he went directly to Liu Bang, perhaps Liu Bang would think that he was going to Qin Twilight Chu, how could such a person be reused by the king?
There is another reason, that is, Chen Ping is just a literati, if you go directly to Liu Bang, with the identity of "life-saving benefactor", Liu Bang will definitely give Chen Ping a very high courtesy, but a new person, just joined a team, did not build an inch, he got the boss's favor, inevitably caused colleagues to be jealous, which is not conducive to Chen Ping's career, smart as Chen Ping, how can you think of this?
Why not let Zhang Liang recommend?
As the saying goes, the same is the wrongdoer, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, are also known for their wisdom and scheming, this text is not the first, wu is not the second, the literati are light, and it is not uncommon in Chinese history.
If you go to Zhang Liang to recommend himself, Zhang Liang will not give Chen Ping a trip, this Chen Ping has no bottom in his heart, after all, people are selfish, and at the time of the Hongmen banquet, Chen Ping's performance seems to have proved that he is even smarter than Zhang Liang, in this case, how dare Chen Ping still go to Zhang Liang?
Another point is that he and Zhang Liang are known for their wisdom, if Zhang Liang recommends himself and makes Liu Bang mistakenly think that he and Zhang Liang are in the same group, then whether it is for Zhang Liang or for himself, it is a fatal blow, after all, at that time, the two major think tanks in the world joined forces to let Liu Hanjiangshan, who was in his early childhood, change hands, it was not impossible.
Chen Ping turned to Liu Bang to get rich, not to seek his own death, so Chen Ping would not look for Zhang Liang to recommend himself no matter what.
Why look for Wei Ignorance?
Can't directly find Liu Bang, can't rely on Zhang Liang's recommendation, what to do? Chen Ping thought of his friend Wei Ignorance, wei Ignorance at that time, in Liu Bangjun, was just a dispensable military general, such a person, first, there was no threat to Liu Bang, through Wei Ignorance recommendation, Liu Bang's suspicion was much smaller, second, Wei Ignorance was also considered a "second minister", such a person, in Liu Bangjun, the status is low, if you want to get a foothold, the best way is to hug the group for warmth, so it is easier to let Chen Ping integrate into their collective, Chen Ping first entered the Han army camp, what is most needed is a stepping stone, and Wei Ignorance, Not big, not too small, just right.
Why, when Chen Ping defected to Liu Bang, he did not directly look for Liu Bang, nor let Zhang Liang, who owed others affection, recommend, but went to find Wei Ignorance, what views do you have, welcome to leave a message to comment.
